[PATCH 0/8] bootconfig: Update for the recent reports

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hello,

Here are some patches to update bootconfig. There are
several implementation changes and syntax fix/updates.

As we discussed in the previous thread, modifies bootconfig.

 - [1/8] Make CONFIG_BOOT_CONFIG=n by default
 - [2/8] Add magic word for bootconfig
 - [8/8] Print array as multiple commands for
         legacy command line

With the magic word, we can identify bootconfig without
checksum, also if we find a wrong bootconfig, there is no
reason to suppress the error message anymore.

 - [3/8] Remove unneeded error message silencer
 - [4/8] Remove unneeded checksum

In addition, I found some issues on bootconfig syntax, so
fix it. (these also include testcase update)

 - [5/8] Reject if subkey and value has same parent
 - [6/8] Overwrite value on same key by default
 - [7/8] Add append value operator ("+=")

To update synchronously, each patch includes code, test
and documentation. If it is better to split (especially
documentation). please let me know.

TODO: support kernel builtin bootconfig. Should we reuse
firmware builtin loader? But it seems we just need a Makefile.

Thank you,
